People I Admire
The people I admire most
most people never hear
They playact a fine host and lift a heart with cheer
The people I admire most
most people never meet
They rarely choose to boast and conquer all defeat
The people I admire most
most people never hold
They salute with the toast and fancy things untold
The people I admire most
most people never find
They safely keep the coast and offer peace of mind
The people I admire most
most people never mark
They run a command post and craft the refuge ark
The people I admire most
most people never pick
They humor in a roast and have a wit that's quick
